Passive Passion

Colorado Premiere!
DOUBLE FEATURE INCLUDES both Biophilic Design and Passive Passion!IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE US PASSIVE HOUSE CONFERENCE Passive Passion is a 21-minute documentary on the Passive House design method – an approach that combines heavy insulation, airtightness, and heat-recovery ventilation to achieve reductions of up to 90% in the energy required for heating and cooling.

This introduction to a unique and promising style of building examines the extent to which European builders have taken the concept, and the vast ground American Passive House enthusiasts have to make up. It remains something of a fringe movement in the United States, but can the Passive House method change the way we build?
